Books and You

Description in text form

Better Screens

Vanilla book editing, viewing and signing screens have been replaced with new, completely redesigned ones, which add many new features and improvements:

  • View and edit two pages at once (almost like a real book!)
  • Formatting and other editing tools
  • Editing books on a Lectern
  • Custom book author
  • and more...

Formatting

No more struggles with § symbols, just select the text you want to format and the formatting toolbar will show up - Easy application with mouse or keyboard shortcuts - Uses vanilla system under the hood

Import / Export

Text from Writable and Written books can be saved to a file and loaded from it - Exported as human-readable .txt - Formatting is preserved by default, can be excluded if desired

Colorful Books

Books can be dyed into any color, like a leather armor - Color is shown on the item, in GUIs, on a Lectern and on a Chiseled Bookshelf

Block Tooltips

Looking at a Lectern or a Chiseled Bookshelf slot will show a tooltip with the book item stored on it

Reading

Fancy animation for players using a book in hand - Book and Quill makes it a writing animation instead, adding a feather to the hand

Literate Mobs

With a 5% chance, Zombies, Husks and Skeletons will spawn holding a Book and they will read it occasionally - Book has a 50% chance to drop when the mob dies
